You are looking at the wrong number.  In the one you're showing, I'm
doing `head', so it's cut off after 10 results.  You really should be
looking at the results of the full run to see that we're in the same
ballpark.

paias746 $ time ~/misc/qotw/parens 12 | tail
((())())()()()()()()()()
(()()())()()()()()()()()
()(()())()()()()()()()()
(())(())()()()()()()()()
()()(())()()()()()()()()
((()))()()()()()()()()()
(()())()()()()()()()()()
()(())()()()()()()()()()
(())()()()()()()()()()()
()()()()()()()()()()()()

real	0m1.44s
user	0m1.37s
sys	0m0.02s
